If you have a premium channel (HBO, SHOTIME, ETC) you can download most of their
movies playing in rotation for free, anytime you want, with quite a bit of HD content.
And you can buy newer movies with better quality and a lower price than renting, with
fast foward, rewind, DD, etc.
This is thanks to a hugh fiber optic upgrade a few years back.
And its not just me, the local video rental clerks are looking a lot like the maytag repairman around here:1:
And lets not forget that for that service (cable or sat) you are paying between $10-15 PER channel per month. Unless you have some bundle. With 360 service you pay per movie, so I don't have a charge each month.
It too allows, FF, RW, pause, and the whole bit. Just at the end of the movie rental time period you can't watch anymore. TV shows on the service are yours forever though.
If your gonna buy, I would feel more comfortable with the physical product. Less compression, better sound quality etc.

I like to buy a movie every once in awhile, sure, but talledega nights?
MY SERVICE IS 180 A MONTH, that includes internet, fast as the dickens, all of the premium channels (32$) digital basic, whatever that is, and all of the available hd.
And they keep upgrading, everything not DD 5.1 is now DD 2,0, which translates into exelent music on music choice and decent surround on movies.
But the VOD is best, all premium channels offer most of their current rotation for free,
and you can get pay-per-view also, you get access for 24 hrs.
As for quality well, fiber optic is It man, really lives up to its rep.
We may be a research market or something, I know we used to be, this may be wnat
comcast is going to offer, well, the price isnt bad, you just forego rentals and its not that much really.
I used to rent at least 20 bucks worth of movies a week and had to return em, some wouldnt play, then theres late fees, etc.
Now you just hit a button, and I can record something I really want in SD on my DVD
recorder, have recorded several concerts that way:3:
